Thirteen service members along with at least 170 Afghan civilians were murdered by a suicide bomber at Abbey Gate during the evacuation of Afghanistan on August 26, 2021. To add insult to injury, billions of dollars in military equipment was left for the Taliban. Making matters worse, aside from the current Administration ignoring the Gold Star Families for years, our own government is actively funding The Taliban. The lessons we failed to learn from Benghazi came back to haunt us and will continue to do so unless we start holding our institutions and politicians accountable. I am joined once again by ex-CIA targeter Sarah "Superbad" Adams and Benghazi hero Dave "Boon" Benton to share their investigative findings on how our institutions have failed us.

The September 11, 2012, terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya killed four Americans. Over twelve years later, justice for the fallen eludes us because both Democrats and Republicans fail to learn from the debacle. The attackers on the Special Missions Compound and CIA Annex continued to commit acts of terror since. The Innocent are paying the price for our failure to act. I am joined by Bradley Podliska, former investigator on the U.S. House Select Committee on Benghazi. We talk about his book Fire Alarm: The Investigation of the U.S. House Select Committee on Benghazi, highlight the military failures that night, address the lingering political biases, and offer some form of solutions and calls for accountability.

It's been 12 years since the Benghazi Attacks that claimed the lives of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, IT Sean Smith, and GRS members Tyrone Woods, and Glen Doherty. While the discourse on this subject remains highly political on both sides, the enemy remains out there. Joining me is Benghazi hero, survivor Kris "Tanto" Paronto. In this wide-ranging interview, we reflect on life before and after the Benghazi Attacks, and talk about the lessons we need to learn from it.
